"Medford City Council voted 5-1 in the early hours of Wednesday to divest city funds from weapons manufacturers, fossil fuels companies, private prisons and entities engaging in human rights violations.

"Zac Bears is Medford's council president and the bill's sponsor: 'Right now, the context is obvious. There are very clear human rights violations happening in Gaza, Ukraine, Congo, Sudan, Myanmar and other places.'"

“Solidarity activities at the global level should be strategic and impactful. They should focus on disrupting all components of the supply chain that benefit the Israeli occupation in general and settler colonialism in particular. This means citizens around the world in different sectors of society can contribute to the struggle for Palestine as both producers and consumers by heeding the call to boycott and divest from Israel.

Direct actions from the working class are crucial. Workers can integrate the Palestinian cause into their demands for better working conditions. For instance, public strikes in solidarity with Palestine, such as those organised by rail workers in European countries, might pressure governments to reconsider their support for Israel.

Similarly, port workers could strike to disrupt shipping linked to Israel, pushing governments to reassess their positions. Employees in high-tech industries can play a critical role in supporting Palestinians by demanding their companies align products, services and partnerships with international law, refusing to support technologies complicit in the Israeli occupation or settler violence. If companies refuse, workers can escalate to protest action, such as disrupting supply chains and whistleblowing.”

Sounds like you can now pay to have all your data sent through Israeli intelligence if that’s what does it for you.

from Divest Public Money from Elon Musk

We're ramping up our campaign to hold Elon Musk accountable by launching a campaign to Divest Public Dollars from Elon Musk!
Cities & states opposed to Musk’s illegal takeover of the federal government invest trillions of dollars in the stock market through city pension systems. Some cities purchase vehicle fleets from Tesla, and others hold contracts with Musk’s businesses. Musk’s brutal and unnecessary cuts are ravaging state and local budgets. Governments that care about democracy should not be giving him money by contracting with his companies or investing public employees’ money in a failing, democracy-destroying company like Tesla or supporting Musk’s other enterprises. We're launching Divest Public Dollars from Elon Musk to push our elected officials to stop funding his attack on our democracy with our tax dollars and pensions. Please complete this quick form to let us know how you'd like to be involved.

Chile "has announced plans to diversify the Latin American country’s defense ties in an effort to depend less on Israel, strongly condemning Tel Aviv’s brutal campaign in the Gaza Strip"
"...the Chilean government announced that it would pull all its military, defense, and air force attaches from Tel Aviv in protest against the war in Gaza"
As a result "the US is planning to impose sanctions on Chile" Usual US Mafia tactics..

Some good news out of Norway as their largest trade union votes to boycott Israel and demands sanctions against the genocide of Palestinians.

APROPOS OF EVERYTHING

am all for boycotting JK Rowling and her Harry Potter funded #transphobia but there’s a reason #BDS stands for #Boycott #Divest #Sanction

if you BDS JK Rowling, you need to BDS :

Amazon
Amazon MGM Studios
Bloomsbury
Disney
Electronic Arts
Scholastic Press
Warner Bros. Pictures

and these are just the conglomerates that have direct control of portions of the Harry Potter franchise.

Disney, after the De Santis LGBTQI showdown in Florida, should be a priority.

I've been pretty happy with NearlyFreeSpeech for web #hosting and was going to save them to the end of the #Divest #Reroute , but the fact remains that they *are* in the US and I will want to move my stuff to the EU eventually anyway. Plus, there's no straighforward way to record my web hosting payments as a business expense when I'm hosting through them. So I'm looking again. Tips?
